A little dystopian story today… I wonder if this is where we are all heading.

Friday Fictioneers are writing stories to the same picture every week. There is a limitation of 100 words that we are normally not ostracized for missing. I do not think that Rochelle ever count the words, but I always try to hit it exactly. Join the fun, or read some of the other stories from this creative bunch of people.

At least they are thinking proactively and getting out instead of holding on and hoping for the rain. Over the weekend I was watching survival shows and the lack of water was a key element. It is so important to life. Without it, we die.

This fits the prompt well, Bjorn; it has a bleak look to it. I’m wondering the same as you: how many stories will involve dystopian scenarios or something monstrous. Maybe I’ll take a tally. 🙂
It thought it was interesting that both of our stories involved goats, especially since I put mine in there randomly. Great minds think alike, I guess. 🙂

I like “dust devil” but hope that your scenario is not one we will be experiencing in the future. I don’t know where they will escape too at that point although if you don’t want to end up like the goat I guess you have to make an attempt to find somewhere.

I hope this isn’t a prediction of how it will be for the whole human race ultimately. It’s bad enough that there are many people in this predicament already. I get the feeling that the ones in your story had nowhere to go but it was better to keep moving until they dropped rather than lay down and die where they were.
